Hmmm. This begs the question: how does the Brook UFB manage to stay connected to the PS4, given that it doesn’t have a Bluetooth module then? And why can’t a similar workaround be used for other platforms that expect Bluetooth authentication?

Smashbro29:

How does UFB get around that?

The Brook UFB does have that bluetooth module on there. It isn’t official (if it was the UFB wouldn’t need firmware updates to keep working after some PS4 updates) but the Brook team at least partially cracked the PS4 peripheral licensing system. I’m going to guess that the module currently on the UFB only works for PS4 security checks.

I have a few Madcatz Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Arcade Fightstick TES Wii U Edition and I’m in the process of installing Brook UFBs in them. I’m having trouble locating the solder points on the Wii U TEs PCB to connect the home button and turbo button (for TP key maybe) to the Brook UFB. I’ve searched and searched and only came across one thread where someone asked for the same thing. He got comments but no answers and that was a 2-year-old thread.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.https://thumb.ibb.co/mFc3rQ/716q_NJrcx_FL_SL1500.jpghttps://preview.ibb.co/iJ3Xkk/385712_IMG0134.jpg

Consider swapping that home panel board for a replacement board. You’ll lose LS, RS and Turbo, but you’ll gain player LEDs, L3, R3, and Touchpad functions. Check the following thread for details:

I have the intend to put a Brook Universal PC into my old Xbox 360 Madcatz TE S case, will 8 face buttons and 2 back buttons be enough?
So far i’d been using a PS2 Stick with the same amount of buttons in conjunction with the PS2>PS4 adapter but that one had an extra home button on
the adapter itself.

Is it possible to program a specific combination (such as Select+Start) to the Home button on the board or anything of that sort?
Adding another button hole would be near impossible for me and highly inconvenient.

Update: And just like that, this has already been confirmed. Some non-sheet photos have now surfaced, so we’ve added those in below. Original: Many accessories have already been announced for Switch. Strangely though, we haven’t heard much of...

Really interested to see if they’ll be able to add Switch wired support. The HORI controllers didn’t even come out yet! I thought they did at launch.

The only wrinkle would be if Nintendo makes Hori ether make the stick wireless or add a security bluetooth module ala Sony and the PS4 controllers. The worst case scenario would be a new converter. Better than dropping $150 on a Switch-only stick.

They have what is definitely a wired hori pro controller. Rumor has it that it’s really cheap because there’s no wireless functionality.

That wired ps4 hori controller has a bluetooth module in it to verify its a licensed peripheral. If it didn’t have that it would time out every 8 minutes.

But thats the PS4, not the Switch.

We don’t know the extent of Nintendo’s peripheral security yet. We likely won’t until brook gets their hands on Hori’s arcade stick.

Unfortunately we don’t know if it’s wireless or wired yet

Actually we do, if look at the relevant slide it clearly sais “stick arcade filaire”

Okey, I got this pre-soldered version of UFB but I am still struggling to find out which goes where, I know what lever is but even on whole group set, there are more than 10 wires and I have 8 buttons, any advice which wires go where?

@“GOGO.Zippy” - he was asking if he held TOUCHPAD and PS if that would get into boot loader mode so he could update the firmware. Unless you guys changed something, you still need a SELECT button to get into bootloader for updating firmware.

Thanks. But yeah, this is what I was asking about. A button shortcut to emulate just tapping on the touchpad would also work as most PS4 fighting games use a touchpad tap to reset training mode.
